California Proposition 215_The Compassionate Use Act of 1996
While authored with the best intentions, Prop 215 didn’t exactly do what it was supposed to do. While it guaranteed a right to use prescribed medical marijuana in California, defined the “primary caregiver” role, and protected doctors from state sanction, it left out many of the details required for the effective production and distribution of medical marijuana.
California Senate Bill 420_2003
SB 420 defined, for better or worse, medical marijuana in California as it exists today. It standardized the ID Card, outlined the dispensary system, and better defined the patients eligible for medical marijuana. This broadening includes anyone unable to conduct the
Major Life Activities defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
